+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #724494 +++

Seems like this failure for localized versions of Firefox is back now. Have we had a recent change? Tim?

The new tab page's title hasn't been touched for the new layout. No idea what's going wrong here.

Comment 2

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

So it looks like that we are still getting the wrong and not localized title. Vlad, can you please test this with the de version of Firefox?

I don't get it, it worked. So the problem is in Germany :D I'll get to it and investigate

Worked with what version/locale of Firefox? I assume that you have only tested with the en-US build now. But it looks like that all localized builds are affected. Here for the ja one:

It seems that "newtab.pageTitle" equals "New Tab" instead of "Neuer Tab", which would be normal for the german locale - de. 

I checked the chrome page "chrome://browser/locale/newTab.dtd", got "New Tab"
Checked omni.jar and opened the file "NewTab.dtd" from ./firefox/chrome/de/locale/browser and got the same "New Tab" string value for newtab.pageTitle. 

Something is wrong here

So, it looks like what we need here is the property and not the DTD:

http://mxr.mozilla.org/l10n-central/source/de/browser/chrome/browser/tabbrowser.properties#18

I assume the title gets set by a script and it uses the property instead.

Right. Nice tip, thanks Henrik!

Attachment: screenshot

Screenshot to show that I cannot see about:home in the "de" locally, and this causes my test to fail

Comment 9

[Maniac Vlad Florin (:vladmaniac)]

Changed the test to work with properties instead of reading the string from dtd 
This is the code snippet and the new error I get because of the about:home page 

I think this is not normal

If you want to have a proper response you should really give us all the changed code. Not sure what the constant is set to.

We never exposed this as constant so please put in the string directly into the function call.

I'm sure you want tabbrowser.properties here. That's the reason why it doesn't work for you.

I'm so sorry this patch was not refreshed. I was using tabbrowser.properties. If using browser.properties the error you get is 

"message": "getProperty: Unknown property - tabs.emptyTabTitle", "fileName": "resource://mozmill/stdlib/securable-module.js -> file:///home/vladmaniac/Desktop/germanlocale/mozmill-tests/lib/utils.js", "name": "Error", "lineNumber": 381}}]

With this patch you get the error I was talking about, meaning the about:home page causing problems on the german locale

Comment 15

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

So what's the value getProperty returns? the mentioned pastebin is also invalid because it uses browser.properties.

The property returns the expected result 'Neuer Tab'

So why should this patch fail then as mentioned in comment 14? I'm now totally confused.

Henrik: 

The test fails on  this line 
expect.equal(tabBrowser.getTab().getNode().label, title, "Correct tab title");

tabBrowser.getTab().getNode().label value is 'Seiten-Ladefehler', because of about:home not working correctly, while title ahs the correct output: 'Neuer Tab'

Kadir, do you know why about:home doesn't work in de builds? I haven't tested on my own but as it looks like it's not a registered about: url.

So I'm totally not sure what you are seeing here. Everything passes on my box. So I assume something is wrong with your installation. If you can reproduce it manually, even in a fresh profile, you should probably file a bug for Firefox.

This patch looks good and I will land it right away. Thanks.

Comment 23

[Maniac Vlad Florin (:vladmaniac)]

There was a problem with an earlier version of Firefox Nightly. Updated and everything is fine now. I take it there is no sense to raise a Firefox bug if the latest version behaves normally.

Comment 24

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

Looks good and is not failing anymore in latest testruns on localized builds.
